American Marconi Wireless News - GameSquare Announces Peaky Blinders Digital Fan Experience, Advancing the Company's IP Monetization Strategy

FRISCO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2026 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:GAME) ("GameSquare" or the "Company"), a leading media, entertainment and technology company, today announced plans for the initial rollout of its Peaky Blinders fan experience, marking an important milestone in the commercialization of its recently acquired FanEngine business and the Company's strategy to monetize globally recognized entertainment, sports, music and media intellectual property ("IP"). GameSquare expects its Peaky Blinders initiative to contribute seven figures of high-margin revenue in the fourth quarter of 2026, with a materially larger contribution to annual revenue and profitability in 2027.

The planned rollout will introduce the Peaky Blinders Pass, a digital membership experience designed to connect fans with digital collectibles, exclusive content, rewards and interactive gaming experiences. Fans will be able to earn experience points (XP) through participation and engagement, unlocking additional benefits as the platform expands. The Pass will serve as the foundation of a broader digital entertainment ecosystem, with plans for additional gaming experiences, exclusive merchandise and consumer products, creator collaborations, brand partnerships, digital content and live experiences. These initiatives are designed to establish direct relationships with fans and create multiple opportunities for engagement and monetization, which includes the expected launch of a Peaky Blinders game later this year.

"Our Peaky Blinders initiative represents an exciting milestone in our strategy to transform globally recognized entertainment IP into scalable, high-margin revenue opportunities," said Justin Kenna, Chief Executive Officer of GameSquare. "We have spent years building the capabilities and relationships to help the world's leading brands, game publishers and entertainment properties engage their audiences. With FanEngine, we can now apply those same capabilities to premium IP where we participate directly in the economics, creating a meaningful new growth opportunity for GameSquare."

"GameSquare's IP monetization strategy is just getting started. We expect to introduce multiple Peaky Blinders fan experiences in the coming months, while expanding our portfolio across entertainment, sports, music and media with additional launches planned for 2027. We believe these initiatives can become meaningful drivers of revenue growth, margin expansion and long-term shareholder value," Kenna concluded.

GameSquare's IP monetization strategy leverages its established relationships with leading gaming platforms and publishers, including Epic Games and Roblox, along with its expertise in creator marketing, content production, brand integrations and digital analytics. These capabilities have supported successful projects involving Fortnite, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Marvel Rivals, providing an established infrastructure to expand fan and community engagement and commercial opportunities across its IP portfolio.

The strategy builds on FanEngine's experience monetizing entertainment IP, including its Simon's Cat initiative, which has generated approximately $50 million in cumulative transactional revenue and approximately $9 million in cumulative profit since it was launched in 2024. With its globally recognized brand and passionate community, GameSquare believes Peaky Blinders represents a significant opportunity to build on this experience and create meaningful, long-term revenue streams.

The Peaky Blinders Pass will be available in the fourth quarter of 2026 and Fans can register now at www.shelbycompanyltd.com for updates.
